carlfense Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Why are our politicians ignoring this plague of American-on-American crime? Why are American leaders not protesting the cult of death that fills the graveyards of America? Who will bravely challenge the culture of failure that says that Americans should only be outraged when Muslims kill Americans? Who will challenge the American pathology that says that a boy who walks unarmed is acting French? I demand a TSA checkpoint at every shopping mall to shield Americans against Americans. I demand drones to kill Americans before they kill other Americans. I demand that American leaders stop pretending that American morgues and American cemeteries are full of young men because of jihadis. The evidence is clearAmerican-on-American violence is a silent killer that only Americans can stop. American criminality is now so rampant that it must always be the only topic of any conversation. Let us not speak of any act of international terrorism until American terrorism has been wholly vanquished. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/11/the-gospel-of-rudy-giuliani/380498/ 1 Link to comment
NUance Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The American people have one of the highest murder rates in the industrialized world. Almost all of these people are killed by other Americans. War hustlers and Bin Laden pimps love to go around screaming, but 9/11! Three thousand people died on 9/11. Nearly 15,000 Americans were killed in 2012. Americans perpetrate roughly five 9/11s against other Americans every year. You have to admit, the guy makes some good points. 1 Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Good for Giuliani. That being said, I'm sure the politicians, specifically the ones who control the funding to the Department of Defense and the ones who chair it, will ignore him. Politics...I hate it. Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I would very much vote for a Giuliani presidency. Twice, even. Link to comment

Politics...I hate it.. . . you need to read the article. The quotes are made in response to Giuliani . . . not by Giuliani. The above words are Ta-Nehisi Coates . . . who has written some very thought-provoking articles. Link to comment
